At the dedication of this sculpture in Vienna, Barbara Rollmann
Boretty said:
Nele Stroebel's imaginative sculpture is shaped by her
conceptional work with various materials and subjects. Two and
three-dimensional contours based on geometric shapes or biomorphs
characterize her works, especially those made for public buildings
where form as process is in the foreground.
In the last several years, Stroebel has worked a great deal with
the naturally found mineral silicon. The microscopic view of
one-celled plants millions of years old has also opened new worlds
for her. Monumental enlargements and artistic transformations of
these images into ceramic sculptures bridges the gap between them
and clay, a material primarily consisting of silicon. Stroebel's
first terracottas, made during her studies at the Vienna College of
Applied Arts, presaged her current work, which has now reached its
epitome and is dedicated to large-format sculptural art with a
seldom used material. These ceramic sculptures demonstrate well the
artist's intention to develop an individual and abstract language
for the spatial-architectural dimension using silicate forms.
